♥ National Scrapbook Day Celebration ~ May 1st♥

Hi everyone and happy "hump" day! I hope the week is going well for you.


I just wanted to quickly let you know that CJToo will be having some goodies including video's and projects posted this Saturday May 1st which is National Scrapbook Day. The fun kicks off at 10:00 am CST (Central Standard Time) with a video and will continue from there. I will have the chit-chat box open at the top of the page (see the chat box on my blog) and you can stop in throughout the day to chat with others who may be here at the same time. I will be in and out all day but have some exciting and fun things planned for my blog visitors and followers.

♥ How I Choose to Start My Day ♥

I chose to start my day by reading Today's Word with Joel Osteen. I subscribe to his inspirational messages (through email) that really help me put some perspective on issues and situations throughout my day. I consider it a great way to start off my day. You can check those out here. There are also Podcasts and other ways to gain his inspirational messages. Joel Osteen ROCKS!

Your Appointed Time

TODAY'S SCRIPTURE

"For the vision is yet for an appointed time…though it tarries, wait for it"
(Habakkuk 2:3, KJV))

TODAY'S WORD from Joel and Victoria

God has an appointed time to fulfill the visions, dreams, and desires in your heart. Just because it has taken a long time or because you've tried and failed doesn't mean it's not going to happen. Don't give up on those dreams! Don't be complacent about pursuing what God has placed in your heart. Our God is a faithful God. No matter how long it's been, no matter how impossible things look, if you'll stay in faith, your set time is coming.
Remember, every dream that's in your heart, every promise that has taken root, God put it there. Not only that, but He has every intention of bringing it to pass. Hold on to that vision today. Declare by faith, "My time is coming. God is working behind the scenes on my behalf. I will fulfill my destiny!" As you continue to hold on to that vision and speak life over your dreams, it won't be long before you see them begin to take shape. You'll see your faith grow, you'll see your hope strengthen, and you'll see yourself step into the destiny God has prepared for you!

A PRAYER FOR TODAY
Father in heaven, I receive Your Word which is life and health to me today. I ask that You ignite my heart with Your holy fire so that I can pursue Your perfect plan for my life. Make my thoughts and words agreeable to Your will. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

CJToo's Etsy Shoppe

I've heard so many good things about etsy.com that I've decided to take the plunge and try it. I've opened up my CJToo Shoppe and have my first thing listed. Etsy is for handcrafted, vintage and craft stuff. Check out my shop here. I've ordered some adorable graphics so I can't wait to get those put up in my shoppe.

CJToo - that's ME....short for Craft Junkie Too. My crafty side, of course. Ü

Thanks for looking everyone!

A Valentine Challenge for You!

I love Valentine's Day....the whole holiday aspect of it. I love the red, white, pink, hearts, candy....just the whole idea of making someone you love feel special. I used to think about Valentine's Day as a day just for couples, a day for boyfriend/girlfriends but I don't anymore. We should tell the ones we love that they are special each and everyday but there is one day out of the year that makes it even more special. Valentine's Day - February 14th. So, I challenge you to not think about Valentine's Day as a day for couples but a time to be nice to someone that may be a widow, neighbor, friend who recently lost someone and this is the first Valentine's Day without that loved one, send a card to your best friend that you haven't seen in a while, how about the receptionist at work......so many options!
 Short on cash? Grab a piece of notebook paper and jot down 5 or 10 things that you love about your partner or kids. This is what I am going to do. I have a note for each of my kids and hubby telling each of them 5-10 things that makes them special to me. Make this Valentine's Day special!

Hugs,
Tracy
